Propulsion System

Brittany Brown, of SCUBAJET Fort Lauderdale, talks about their new ultra high performance aquatic propulsion system.

Yachting & Sportfishing Guide: Hi Brittany, thanks for taking the time to tell us about your new state of the art underwater propulsion set up. How fast does SCUBAJET go?

BB: Our new motors double the capacity of most of our competitors. Of course it depends on current, drag and weight load, but it’s been consistently measured at 6-8 feet per second.

Y&SG: How deep can it go?

BB: 199 feet deep.

Y&SG: Besides yourself, what else can SCUBAJET propel?

BB: We have our own adaptor so you can hook it up to your kayak or SUP. You can also make your own for a dingy or canoe. It’s very, very versatile too, and applicable in more and more aspects of watercrafts. It transforms the way you move in the water!

Y&SG: How long does the battery last?

BB: The Pro version lasts up to 2 hours, and the XR had double the battery, so double the range.

Y&SG: Can you switch batteries while in the water?

BB: They’re stackable batteries so you can get extended run time. They are also TSA compliant – they are 100 watts – so you can fly with them and charge up to 4 at a time. That way when you get to a remote island location by plane, no worries, you’re ready to go!

Y&SG: Does it have any safety features?

BB: Absolutely! It has an automatic shutoff set up, and is also totally emission free. They all come with a 1-year full warranty, and you have the option to buy an additional 3-year warranty. You can also purchase and additional light beam on the nose cone, at 1500 Lumens brightness level.

Y&SFG: Anything new on the horizon?

BB: Yes. Any updates can be made with our android phone software. New features include a new boost mode, which increases the speed 100% for 10 seconds. Plus, we’re developing our own E-foil board propulsion system for surfboards and kite boards. So stay tuned!
